Far out...no car....no money....
Well...this morning after I dropped Ari off at daycare and was on my way to uni....I had a car accident. I am not hurt or anything...so I do have that to be thankful for at least...but this is a hassle and an expense that I so do not need right now....:(
The accident was not my fault....a young girl pulled out right in front of me and I had no hope in hell of stopping. She claims she didn;t see me....but she was stopped in the waiting bay as she had already crossed 2 lanes of traffic on the other side of the median strip....and I had slowed down in anticiapation that she might just pull out. When she didn't...I sped up a bit again and right as I was close to her...she pulled out. I tried breaking but skidded. I wanted to pull around her but someone was coming up the inside lane of me and if I'd have done that he'd have collected me and then the accident would have been my fault. Thank god I have fast reflexes....as if I didn't it could have been a lot worse. But FUCK!
I reported it, called my insurance and they came to my house to tow my car to the repairer. That was good. Sunday morning I have to catch a VERY FUCKING EXPENSIVE taxi to Artarmon to pick up a rental car (I can't get to work or uni without a car...not unless I want to travel 3 hours each fucking way....). I have to go all the way to Artarmon to do it because only there or Mascot branches are open on a Sunday. I can't do it Monday because I need to be at work at 8:30am. My dad was going to come and pick me up and take me...but now he's not. Some pathetic excuse about his car being too small for Ari and I. WTF?? Yeah...it's a small car bit it's 4 doors and Ari would be the only one in the back. My parents said they'd pay my taxi fair...(which will be close to $100 I'm guessing)....but I don't want their fucking money. I'll manage on my own....somehow....
My insurance covers part of my car rental for 10 days only....so I have to still pay $15 a day ($150). After that $35 a day. Sucks when the accident wasn't even my fault and I have to find money when I am not exactly rolling in it to pay for things I shouldn't have to fucking pay for.
In other news....Kurt is being a jerk and stormed out the other night soon after getting here. I won't go into the gory details....but it helped clear my mind in that I have mostly filled out my divorce papers. A few things I still need to finalise.
Sometimes I wonder how I even get up in the morning and go on. I really do. Life seems to get harder and harder for me....and I can't see an end to it.
I have a wonderful daughter and a wonderful b/f...so yes...I have those two things to be VERY thankful for....but I'd just like to get a break sometime....ya know????

EDIT: Going to Castle Hill to get a rental car tomorrow instead of getting one from Artarmon on Sunday. Means paying for an extra days car rental but will be much cheaper in taxi fares.
